To the kindness of Mr. II. E. Weld,
School Clerk of Distric: No. 4, we are
indebted for the following information
concerning the new school building in

On July 1, 1887. the qualified voters of
District No. 4. COLBY, by majority of
1872 to 80. voted School District Bonds in
the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars. for
the purpose of erecting new school
building for the use of said district. These
bonds have been sold to the State Per-
manent School Fund Commission at par
and are to run fifteen years at five per
cent interest. payable standardization
the first day of July and January of each
year. Except that no interest shall fall
due and become payable before Jan. l,
1899 thus causing three interest pay
ments 10 fall due at the first interest pay
ment The money arising from the sale
of these bonds will be in the district
treasury about Oct. /. 1887.
On Sept /. 1897, the electors of said
above district. by "A unanimous vote. fixed
the location of the new school builping
on block seventy nine, in west addition
to Colby. and instructed the school board
to relinquish all right to the old site to Z.
A. Hall and J. b. McGonigal, in cOnsid-
Grafton of said last parties executing and
delivering to said school district a war
ranty deed for the new site, and paying

when completed, will contain eight
school rooms, one recitation room, und

be the neatest and most commodious
sshOOl building in Western Kansas. The

is to remain unfinished. being simply en-
closed and left ready for lathing and
plastering. The exchange with Messrs.

to pay up all back orders on the district.
to buy new furniture. bell, books, etc.
and there will still remain in the treas
ury a surplus, exclusive of taxes, suffi-
cient to run the school six months or
longer.
